They Don't grow Them This Way Anymore- The owner of this magnificent beard is A. G. Sorge, a former Sullivan County resident who died in 1916. Mr. Sorge came over from Germany at the age of 20. He was the inventor of the Sorge hay ricker and was interested in raising Black Morgan stallions. Relatives of Mr. Sorge stated that he never cut his beard. Some time after this picture was taken, the beard touched the floor when Mr. Sorge, who was approximately 6ft tall was standing up.
